Paria - Stanisław Moniuszko's opera - discovered years later, dazzles.

Choir and Orchestra of the Stanisław Moniuszko Grand Theater Choir and Orchestra in Poznań conducted by Jacek Kaspszyk.

Paria is an opera about the need for freedom inherent in each of us. A moving story about exclusion and the power of prejudice. The concert presentation at the Berlin Philharmonic will take place just before the release of the CD with the recording of Paria, which will be released by the Naxos label.

Iwona Sobotka will play the role of Neala. The part of Idamor will be sung by Dominik Sutowicz, whom the Berlin audience applauded warmly in 2019 during the concert presentation of Halka. The role of Dżares will be performed by Stanislav Kuflyuk, successfully conquering opera stages around the world, recently collaborating with the Bayerische Staatsoper and the Wexford Opera Festival. We will also hear Volodymyr Tyshkov as Akebar, Piotr Friebe as Ratef and Lucyna Białas as Priestess.

The Silesian Quartet invites you to the NOSPR premises on the 23^rd of May, 2023 at 19.30. As part of the project ‘Mieczysław Wajnberg - all string quartets - following the dedication’, artists will present String Quartets No. 10, 11 and 16 of this brilliant composer.

Contributing significantly to the rediscovery of Mieczysław Weinberg's music, the Silesian Quartet set itself an extremely demanding task: recording all 17 quartets of this forgotten, Polish-Jewish-Soviet composer. Thanks to this, we have the unique privilege of hearing the complete set of Weinberg's extraordinary quartets live, following the changes taking place in his musical language and following the trail of dedications hidden in the pages of the scores.

The concert will be led by Prof. Marcin Trzęsiok.
